Interesting perspective when you bring in the generation dimension. As a millenial that grew up in the 90s watching stuff like Star Trek and Star Wars to name a few, this whole idea was presented differently and the lynchpin has always been the moon landing. Ironically for some of us, we started noticing oddities in the narrative that could never be explained properly. For your generation perhaps that’s when the skepticism was starting to gain momentum but having said that I still think that you were probably around “out of the box” thinkers if the prevailing consensus around you was “this was faked”. Way different than what some of the GenXers believe and a ton of boomers too.
